The 14.1-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700 is extremely fast and can deliver great still images and surprisingly high-quality 1080i HD video. And with a bright f/2.2 lens with a 5x optical zoom, it shoots very well without a flash. The drawback is its hefty price tag ($399.95 list); competitors like the Sony Cyber-Shot WX1 and Canon Power- Shot SD4000 actually deliver better high- ISO performance.
